About

Why build this?

Many times during the job, students would be asked to go to a new building or find some device without knowing where they need to be. They might take a picture before heading out or attempt to locate it by description alone, but these solutions have their drawbacks. Enter mappy. With mappy, you have the entire building at your fingertips and, with it, the speed to find what you need.
